William Hohl ARM, Inc., Austin, Texas, USA
Languages such as C++ and Java foster the belief that programmers need only address problems at the highest levels of a program's operation. Yet, even modern coding requires an understanding of basic assembly methods, as the hardware responsible for today’s coprocessors or for saturated math operations can be accessed only through its native instructions. Written by the director of ARM’s worldwide academic program, this volume examines code relevant to today's microcontrollers and teaches lessons applicable to other coding environments. Examples show students how to optimize routines and streamline coding, especially in the embedded space. The book provides access to a functional evaluation version of the RealView Microcontroller Development Kit from Keil. Audience: Graduate and undergraduate students in assembly language courses, embedded systems courses, architecture courses, industrial control courses, and mechatronic or mechanical control courses.

Aerospace Corporation, Chantilly, Virginia, USA
Florida International University, Miami, Florida
Series: Systems Engineering
Written for graduate and undergraduate courses, this book provides the knowledge and skills necessary to lead enterprise engineering projects. The book describes a systematic methodology to design an enterprise system and presents an enterprise architecture that has three views: process, informational, and organizational. The text includes methods to analyze and design each view and then demonstrates how to integrate them to arrive at the overall enterprise design. The author also includes enterprise project templates in MS Word and MS Excel software for a business process analyzer in MS Excel, PowerPoint slides for each chapter, as well as solutions for the 200 problems that are presented in the book.
Extensively rewritten to reflect the latest developments, the third edition explains how to create a system from scratch, presenting invention/design rules together with clear explanations of how to use them. The author supplies practical guidelines for avoiding common systematic failures while implementing new mandates. He uses a heuristics-based approach that provides an organized attack on very ill-structured engineering problems. Examining architecture as more than a set of diagrams and documents, but as a set of decisions that either drive a system to success or doom it to failure, the book provide methods for integrating business strategy with technical architectural decision making.
Audience: Junior/senior undergraduate and graduate students in enterprise systems and computer based systems.

It surveys the field’s broad landscape, exploring the physical basics such as nanorheology, nanofluidics, and nanomechanics as well as industrial concerns such as manufacturing, reliability, and safety. The authors then explore the vast range of nanomaterials and systematically outline devices and applications in various industrial sectors. This color text is an ideal companion to Introduction to Nanoscience by the same group of esteemed authors.
Audience: Students taking an introductory course in nanoscience, as an elective or as a first course in a major.
